Forepaugh’s Restaurant has 8 gorgeously decorated dining rooms, including a state-of-the art wine cellar!
Whether it’s an elegant fine dining experience in the Pillsbury Room; a social in the piano bar; or a party with themed rooms throughout the entire house, we still have openings during Super Bowl week!

And yes, we can open for a Sunday brunch or on Monday, January 30th to accomodate groups.

For three decades, Dan Chouinard has been a pianist and accordionist for a who’s who of Twin Cities performers, an enabler of community sing-a-longs, and a writer of hit shows for radio and stage. Chouinard is a veteran of A Prairie Home Companion and most every major theatrical and music stage in town, and he’s excited to return to a piano bar after a 20-year break.

We’re excited to announce that that piano bar is downstairs at Forepaugh’s!

FUN HOUSE

It’s 1920 and the circus is coming to town! The troupe of performers is boarding at Forepaugh’s while in Saint Paul. Each character has his or her own room and a mesmerizing talent they’re dying to show off!

This interesting cast of characters invites you to have some fun in our house!!

Get your fortune told from the mysterious woman behind the crystal ball; warm up by the fire throwers; engage in conversation with the mime; be spellbound by the magician; rap with the contortionist; and sing along with the bearded lady in Forepaugh’s new piano bar!!!

Compete in our best costume contest. Enjoy fabulous fare and spirited libations along the way. Reunite with old friends and make new ones. Meet up with Molly? Be a VIP and visit with Jessica Freeburg from Ghost Stories Inc. and co-author (Jay Asher) of “Piper.” Freeburg will sign your copy of this eerie re-telling of the Pied Piper being released on October 31st!

But, most importantly, come have some Halloween fun!

It’s all happening on All Hallow’s Eve, of course. For $80 per person, you’ll be treated to a smokin’ welcome cocktail; an array of fabulous appetizers; and an evening memories (or nightmares) are made from.

Oh – and it wouldn’t be a fun house (or Forepaugh’s), if there wasn’t a surprise twist in store for you!

Poached Pear in a Purse

Holidays are especially special at Forepaugh’s, and Easter Sunday is no exception! Join us for a coursed tasting menu in a beautiful and historic Victorian mansion. Because we have eight elegant dining rooms, we can – and love to – host many a family at Forepaugh’s!

In addition to serving hundreds of wonderful customers on Thanksgiving at Forepaugh’s, we are proud to pay it forward by providing 150 of the same meals to a local hospital. But, that’s nothing compared to the 26,000 turkey meals that Taher Inc. (our parent company) creates and delivers to those in need.
